 Court Notes.
 The case of George W. Goodsen vs. Clark Smedley of Smedley Brothers was on trial before Justice Mix yesterday. The suit is brought to recover $40, the alleged value of a wagon. Sometime in November last George L. Burnett bought wagon from Clark Smedley, paying small sum down. He owed Goodsell 8 bill and turned the wa gon over to him as collateral security. After ward Burnett tired to buy another wagon of Smedley and the latter doubting Burnett's financial ability refused to sell him. Burnett then went to MT. Smedley, ST., and telling him that his son had told him that he could have the wagon obtained the old gentleman's permission to take it away. When Clark Smedley heard of this transaction he became wroth and hastened to look up wagon No. 9. l Goodsell as security for his debt. Mr. Smed ley wasn't long in repossessing himself of his property and now Goodsell sues to recover. THE MERIDEN POULTRY SHOW. A Very Successful Show-A Fine Dfn- ner at the WinthrOP-AWards of Prizes.
